Young Howl

Young Howl

Finally colored it. It was actually fun to work on.
You'd think that I would find the castle the biggest pain, but that was actually the fun part. The biggest pain was the hillside, followed by the clouds. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the clouds, but I can't seem to make them look right even when looking up tutorials. There is just something I do with the brushing - I guess I don't really experiment enough, I like my good old comfort zone too much. I have to start getting out of it.
Starting in the small I guess....
Will try to do backgrounds on my pictures over the summer. Even if it's just a sketch. <3

Used one of Ghibli's pictures of the castle in the movie because it was more a practice piece in painting, which I myself think was a bit failing since I didn't get the texture on the rocks and clouds exactly the way I wanted. Then again, it was something I did for relaxing so I'm moving on to the next thing now.

Watched Howl's moving castle today. I felt like doing some fanart since I never do that. I love Howl so much, probably because my mind keep mixing the Howl in the movie and the one from the book.

The thought of Howl making the castle some time after he made the deal with Calcifer. The castle wouldn't be as big, and perhaps a bit less messy, though still rather wobbly walking the hills. Howl would collect things over time, slowly adding to his castle as he needed more space for his books and charms....

Been missing drawing a lot. Sketching <3
